Don't you remember when all those alien ships landed on the Las Vegas strip? All the roads to Vegas were jammed with cars and it started this really bad rain storm in the middle of the desert? The whole place turned to mud. Anyway, their first interview was with a reporter named Bill Goodman.

Didn't you read about this in the papers? It seems that everybody heard.

Yes, and Charles thought it would be appropriate that Bill should be the first to interview the visitors!

Maybe this will unveal some mystery behind it.It's a transcript from the bill goodman show where he's talking about UFO's.He mentions areal 51 like Frank does in the song.

Cool fact: Bill Goodman's show theme song was The Magic Mushrooms- "It's-a-Happening"

Actually, Art Bell played a song last night (Sun 1-23-2005) and stated it was the theme of Billy Goodman's show. It was "The Happening" by the Supremes (with Diana Ross). I have an mp3 of the joiner from the commercial that I made... I think Frank DeVol also did a cover...
If I am allowed, I will post a link to the short clip where Art explains... Hope this helps! Jefftoe

Lyrics:
The Happening
by Supremes

Hey life, look at me
I can see the reality (it's the happening)
'Cause when you shook me, took me, outta my world
I woke up
Suddenly I just woke up to the happening

(Oohoo) When you find (Oohoo) that you left the future behind (it's the happening)
'Cause when you find a tender love
You don't need to take care of
Then you better beware of the happening

One day you're up (one day you're up)
When you turn around (when you turn around)
You find your world (you find your world)
Is tumbling down (is tumbling down)
It happened to me and it can happen to you

(Oohoo) I was sure, (Oohoo) I felt secure
Until love took a detour (it's the happening)
Yeah, riding high on the top of the world it happened
Suddenly it just happened
I saw my dreams (Oohoo) torn apart (Oohoo)
When love walked away from my heart (it's the happening)
And when you lose a precious love you need to guide you
Something happens inside you, the happening

Now I see life (now I see life)
For what it is (for what it is)
It's not a dream (it's not a dream)
Ooh, it's not a bliss (it's not a bliss)
It happened to me and it can happen to us

Oohoo, and then it happened
Oohoo, and then it happened
Oohoo, and then it happened

(Oohoo) Is it real? (Oohoo) Is it fake?
Is this game of life a mistake? (it's the happening)
'Cause when I lost the love
I thought was mine for certain
Suddenly it starts hurting
I saw the light (Oohoo) too late (Oohoo)
When that fickle finger of fate (it's the happening)
Yeah, it came and broke my pretty balloon
I woke up
Suddenly I just woke up (to the happening)

So sure, (Oohoo) I felt secure (Oohoo)
Until love took a detour (it's the happening)
'Cause when you got a tender love
You don't take care of
Then you better beware of
The happening

Wow, thanks everyone. This is very intersting. How cool is Bill Goodman? Both the forum member and the one we've been talking about that. I think he's so cool and what makes him cooler is he's met Elvis.
